Your child's big questions - do you know the answer?

There are some questions that Ruby comes out with which just floor me. I find myself racking my cobwebby brain trying to remember school lessons so I can answer such gems as "why is the sea salty" and "where does the moon go in the day time".

Given that I spent most of my science lessons dicking about at the back of the class with my mates, trying to gas each other with Bunsen burners, I generally fail to come up with suitable/accurate/vaguely true responses.

My stock answers are:

a) It's magic

b) Let's Google it

c) Let's ask your uncle (who, according to Ruby, is an 'astro-phizzlestick')

But, my pain is over. A brand new book launched today will answer all those searching questions, in a succinct, child-friendly manner. What's more, the responses come from some of the greatest known minds in the country.
